It had been a long time since the Empire had welcomed the New Year without any visible threats on the horizon. Perhaps the years of heroism had not been in vain after all, changing this world ever so slightly – just a little bit for the better. Even the pranks of the mischievous Grinch had by now become more of an integral part of the celebration than a source of real danger. Aside from that, there was blessed silence and joyful peace. To the delight of the many – and to the cautious vigilance of those in whose hearts beats the heart of a true Lord or Lady. Yet with every passing moment, even this feeling grew quieter, dissolving into the atmosphere of merriment. Could something suddenly go wrong?.. Perhaps – not today. Even Lords and Ladies need rest from time to time.
Dear Lords and Ladies! Another year of glorious adventures has passed – and is already preparing to hand over the reins to the next. And despite its rather calm beginning, it promises a path no less exciting! May your heroic fervor carry you forward toward new victories and achievements, and may your packs be bursting with rewards and trophies! We wish you to stay true to your chosen course and not lose your vigor, so that you may walk the path to the victorious end with honor!
